1 EU Water Initiative and links with research The 7 R+D EU Framework Programme Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform WFD Key Research Issues for the future Manuel Menéndez (Spanish Ministry of Environment)
2 Preparations 7 th FP The 6 th EU Research FP was mainly designed as a tool to help realise the European Research Area. Strong concentration on few themes and topics Emphasis on instruments Importance of coordination of national research activities 7 th EU Research FP has ten themes defined in order: To give continuity to the 6 th Broad enough to accomodate emerging topics Need of simplifying and rationalising
3 Preparations 7 th FP: Roadmap 04/05 Commission - Adoption of FP7 proposals 09/05 Commission - Proposals on Specific Programmes and Rules for participation + dissemination 12/05 Commission Proposals under Art. 169 and /05 EP First reading 01/06 Council Common position 03/06 EP Second reading 04/06 EP Opinion on the Specific Programmes 06/06 Council and EP Adoption of FP and Rules 07/06 Council Adoption of the Specific Programmes
4 Preparations 7 th FP: Themes Health Food, agriculture and technology Information and communication technologies Nonosciences and nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies Energy Environment and climate change Transport Socio economic sciences and the humanities Space Security
5 Environment and climate change Objectives: Knowledge on the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities, Developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in integrated way global environmental issues and support sustainable development. Emphasis will be put on: Improved understanding and prediction of climate, earth and ocean systems changes Tools for monitoring, prevention and mitigation of environmental pressures and risks Management and conservation of natural resources.
6 Environment and climate change Pressures on environment and climate, impacts and feedback: Environment and health : Conservation and sustainable management of natural resources: Evolution of marine environments: Environmental Technologies: Natural hazards:understanding and prevention Forecasting methods and assessment tools Earth observation
7 Preparations 7 th FP: 4 components Collaborative research Aim: To create European Poles of excellence in major fields Frontier Research Aim: Support for investigator driven research in all scientific and technological fields Human Potential Aim: To support key aspects of skills and career development (mainly Marie Curie action) Research capacity Aim: Support to research infraestructures Components will be subject of Specific Programmes
8 Preparations 7 th FP: 2 main features Creation of a European Research Council suporting frontier research projects proposed by individual teams in competition at European Level Actions: Joint technology initiatives (mainly private funding) Co-ordination of national research programmes on a large scale (FP and national funding) International cooperation and support to the creation of new infrastructures (FP, contributions from structural funds and loans from European Investment Bank)
9 Joint Technology Initiatives Mainly be created on the basis of the work undertaken by the European Technology Platforms. ETPs are set up within the European Environmental Technology Action plan adopted by the EC in January One of the ETPs is the Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform
10 Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform Open to all stakeholders and major end-user groups Main output is a document aimed to support: Improvement of the European Competitiveness of the European Water Industry (According Lisbon Strategy) Support to the definition of the 7th EC Research FP Reaching the Millenium Development Goals supporting the EU initiative Three main sections Vision Strategic Research Agenda Implementation Plan Three horizons: 2010,2020,2030
11 Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform Governed by a Board of Stakeholders (about 25 people representing the European Water Industry) Five working groups(about 15 experts each) to produce the final documents TWG1: Water Management TWG2: Water for People TWG3: Water in Industry TWG4: Water in Agriculture TWG5: Horizontal group Regional and national imput is provided by the Member States Mirror Group

21 WG B IRBM: MAIN TASKS Cost-effectiveness assesment (France) Contacts: Thierry Davy (French Water Agencies), Stéphanie Croguennec (Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development) Pilot River Basins Exercise (JRC) Contacts: Giovanni Bidoglio (JRC), Lorenzo Galbiati (JRC), Francesca Soma (JRC) Water scarcity (France, Italy) Contacts: Claire Grisez (Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development), Giorgio Pineschi (Ministry of Environment) Information exchange and research needs on key issues of Integrated River Basin Management (The Netherlands, Spain) Contacts: Marc de Rooy (RIZA), Gerard Broseliske (RIZA), Manuel Menéndez (CEDEX)
22 Information exchange and research needs: Aims Information exchange and research needs: Aims Identification of issues that need further elaboration in the WFD process Identification of key issues with relevance for EUlevel and prioritisation Identification of knowledge gaps that need further research Mandate endorsed by the WD in Amsterdam
23 Schematic: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 All issues Issues with EU relevance (policy issues and research needs) Research needs First identification of Issue Further collection Check elaboration long list research needs via questionnaire during Identification 2 nd half of 2005 of during workshop in (Jan.-March Endorsement EU- 05) relevance by SCG List to be April (end Oct) During and WD workshop (end endorsed by SCG Input from June research 2005 December 2005 Nov) in April (May) and WD community (what has (June) been done already?)
24 Information obtained with the questionnaire: What are the most important driving forces and pressures that prevent a good status? What obstacles did countries face in the process of producing an Article 5 report, and what obstacles do they expect to face in the future? What issues (both driving forces, pressures and other obstacles) would merit an international approach? What issues would need extra research?
25 Return (score at April 1 st ) 24 of the 25 Member States Portugal is missing Return from Belgium only concerns Flanders Return from France only useable qualitatively 2 EFTA countries Norway and Iceland No Accession countries Both Bulgaria and Romania missing Total return 26
26 Driving forces and pressures Based upon the list from IMPRESS Is the topic of concern to your country? If yes, add an indication of the weighting (1= less important 5= top priority) Indicate water category concerned To analyse responses: Percentage of countries reporting an issue; score of 70% and higher marked orange Average weighting once a topic was reported; score of 3 and higher marked green In individual return; weighting 4-5 marked yellow
27 Outcomes
28 Obstacles Data (18 countries) Knowledge gaps (13) Resources (8) International Co-ordination (7) WFD process (7)
29 WFD Key Issues summarized Agriculture biggest issue Morphological issues also important (relates to hydropower, flood defence, building of reservoirs and agriculture) Pollution from households (municipal wastewater) broadly reported Pollution from industry in individual cases other sources of pollution : diffuse sources, transport, long range transport of air pollution, and historic pollution issues of concern Climate change is considered an issue; effects not well understood
30 Research needs (First list) Water resources management Groundwater management Knowledge on physical processes Knowledge on ecological processes Monitoring Pressure impact relations Data management Measures assessment WFD policy questions Policy assessment Socio economic issues
31 Imputs from the research society Attempt to start matching the issues for research identified by the WFD policy side with existing research output. Comments made by Harmoni-CA meeting (Guent, 5-6 April) Very first step of a process with presentation of results planned to be at WD meeting in London (end of 2005)
32 NEEDS A. Long term research; B.Assembly of different sorts of knowledge (bringing together existing knowledge, e.g. the results from several research projects); C Development of common practices (e.g. working in pilots in order to gather experiences on international river basin management); D. Exchange of knowledge (e.g. knowledge already exists but is not commonly known over Europe); E. No specific research is needed; it is a matter of developing policy statements (e.g. conclusions on the application of certain principles). AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS a. Concepts (description and understanding of physical, biological, social, etc., processes); b. Data (gathering, storage, management) c. Modelling (what type, high/low data needs) d. Requirements for models (on qualitative aspects, exchange of outcomes, etc.)
